Went to buy it at that price and as I clicked submit to confirm the order was told there is a price change and it's gone up to £44

I wouldn't buy it yet anyway. Let them roll out some more updates first.

Yeah, EA really killed the concept, and the fact they were caught out in a lie about the always-on was the last nail in the coffin for most people.

I gave up playing the game and my refund is being processed by Origin based on false advertising and incorrect support information.

Wow! You should post how you get on with this. I'd love to claim a refund under the same reasons

So glad I didn't pre-order this. One to avoid it seems! Sorry that everyone is having such a hard time with it. I wanted this to be great. :/

Now that its been confirmed for mac on June 11th I may just get this now (on pc) and switch on the release of the native clent.

Would my Pc be able to run this game as it passes minimum requirements but not quite on recommended as it fails on just the graphics card (GT520)

Anyone still having rollback issues with this??
there's a recovery app with the game which download a fairly large update for the game but it's not one that will automatically download when you open the game. seems to have fixed my rollback issues and recycling issues. location: Origin games/SimCity/SimCityRecovery

I was chatting with a guy from EA and he told me to run that and it's fixed a few problems I was having... May be worth trying it if you're having issues.

It will do, won't look great but will definitely run. I was playing with the integrated graphics on my processor whilst my graphics card was being RMA'd.

I only seen origin doing it, happened to look in my old game account and I had points. Got it for 25 in the end.

So I finally get round to playing again and spent a good couple of hours on a new plot, then get randomly kicked to main menu and when I reloaded the plot it was empty.

Lost a couple of hours to a roll back, I want my couple of hours back.

This game man... this game... :mad:

There are so many other good games around though, why reward EA/Maxis for a hideously flawed product?
Wait a good while, until the price falls and they've fixed the mess.

This! Server issues aside its still a very poor game.

Ermmm is there any way you can delete other players' cities in a private region?

My mate has 3 cities all of which are "This city is currently processing. Check back soon" etc and have been like this for weeks now

But we cant get rid of them! they just sit there.. no rollback or abandon option, nothing
